![]() 3357 forum posts 112 photos 10 articles | Hi There I need a small ring rolling, steel about 3/32 to 1/8 inch (2 1/2 to 3mm) thick. About 55mm wide and 175mm diameter. Not quite full diameter would be fine. It is for a grinder guard. regards David |

392 forum posts | Think you may be confusing the 55mm length with the 175mm (six and a half inch) diameter, Peter. Sorry I can't help, David; I've no rolling machine.. Andy |

try a piece of steel ducting. Air con ducting off cuts are quite cheap / free and galvanised often.

I don't have my workshop set up yet, that is what I am doing at the moment.
